So this is where this thread lies... I knew that someone have had to pick up on this attempt and post it here on DB (should have known It would be you Jome 
).
Anyhow, hope they´re getting donations. I´m going to donate. How much, depends on the boys as I´ll give 0,20 e for every CW meter they do

Could we somehow get link to this thread from the DB's news page?
Waiting to get rid of my money with 1 €/meter on CNF with bonuses if it's a new national record But what the heck, I think it's absolutely worth of every euro. Topis 60 meters been around way too long (6 years!). Thumbs up for Jyri!!!

But what the heck, I think it's absolutely worth of every euro. Topis 60 meters been around way too long (6 years!). Thumbs up for Jyri!!!If I understand correctly they should be after the cwt and cnf records today. I don't think anyone else than Timo Kinnunen has held the cwt record since he started diving (86m) but Jussi seems to be in really nice shape, hitting several times over 80m in training already. I really, really hope he get's it.
As for Jyri - I think he has it in him, being an ex swimmer the swim part should not be a problem and he seems to have found his equalization finally Topi's record is, I believe, the longest standing finnish NR? In fact I don't think anyone before Jyri has been even past 50m, much less 60!
Good luck guys!

NEW NATIONAL RECORD TODAY: 87 meters CWT by Jussi!!! Concratulations!!! And I think it wasn't even hard to achieve, so fresh did Jussi sound in the end of the dive

And Jyri dived 59 m CNF, just two meters to go for a new record!
So this far the guys had succeed to make new records in all of the disciplines. Not bad at all!

!Jussi is now at 94 and judging from the video looking still incredibly fresh. Will he be going for a round 100? If so I pledge to donate 1e/meter - up and down
Very nicely done the blog and all, daily updates, detailed posts, pictures, videos (with bottom footage, no less). I'm really impressed (and proud to know these guys).
Jyri is so damned close to the CNF NR - only a few trys left - it's getting exiting

Congratulations Jyri, Eero and Jussi!!!
Here's video and diving profile of Jussis last, 94 m CWT:
Projektin sukellustavoitteet saavutettu (5/5 ennätystä kasassa!!!)
There's also a great story about the dive: how Jussi prepares for the dive, what he feels and thinks while diving, what are the physical effects when going deep, etc. (unfortunately the story is now only in Finnish):
Think he's going for a hundret meters soon...

And there's also Jyris "story" with video:
Feelings afterwards
This is such a great block! Following the block has felt like opening the hatch (is that the right word for it?) of the christmas calendar when I was a child; Every day there has been something interesting and exciting to watch !

Yeah, especially when Jussi put three more meters on his last dive! The national (and Nordic Countries) record is now 97 meters! Hyvä Jussi, hyvä Suomi! The dive took 3'30". Does anyone know is this "fast" or "slow" CTW compared to other divers who go this deep?
Well, it seems that the fun is over and the rest of the guys are coming back to Finland soon. Huge thanks for the entertainment you gave us! It's been great to read and watch your performances shown on the block.
Now I think it's our turn, my dear diving friends, to do "something good". Let's now all show how much we appreciate the entertainment Jussi, Jyri and Eero gave us during these weeks gone by. I think you know what I mean by this

Really great job guys! I knew Jussi had potential, but wow... 97 m ... that´s awesome! Not to forget about Jyris and Eeros records. Topi´s CNF record had been unbroken for too long already and the official national free immersion record is now set at a serious level.
